About DRCNet
The
Drug Reform Coordination Network was founded in 1993 and has quickly
grown into a major national and global network including
parents, educators, students, lawyers, health care professionals, academics,
and others working for drug policy reform from a variety of perspectives,
including harm reduction, reform of sentencing and forfeiture laws, medicalization
of currently schedule I drugs, and promotion of an open debate on drug
prohibition.
DRCNet opposes the prison-building frenzy and supports rational policies
consistent with the principles of peace, justice, freedom, compassion
and truth. Each of these has been compromised in the name of the Drug
War.
